Skills

Core technologies, languages, and frameworks, including what I am working on getting good at, what I actually build with, and the credentials that back some of it up.

Certifications

Continuous learning backed by industry-recognized certifications across AI engineering and modern backend development. The issuer, the date, and a link to verify where one exists.

A list of tools is not evidence that any of them were used well. What I built with them is on the projects page.

Tell me what you are building.

I read everything that arrives. If you are hiring, scoping a project, or stuck on a multi-tenancy or LLM integration problem, a few sentences about the constraint is enough to start a useful conversation.
